Role of direct interactions between the histone H4Tail and the H2A core in long range nucleosome contacts.

???displayArticle.abstract???
In eukaryotic nuclei the majority of genomic DNA is believed to exist in higher order chromatin structures. Nonetheless, the nature of direct, long range nucleosome interactions that contribute to these structures is poorly understood. To determine whether these interactions are directly mediated by contacts between the histone H4 amino-terminal tail and the acidic patch of the H2A/H2B interface, as previously demonstrated for short range nucleosomal interactions, we have characterized the extent and effect of disulfide cross-linking between residues in histones contained in different strands of nucleosomal arrays. We show that in 208-12 5 S rDNA and 601-177-12 nucleosomal array systems, direct interactions between histones H4-V21C and H2A-E64C can be captured. This interaction depends on the extent of initial cross-strand association but does not require these specific residues, because interactions with residues flanking H4-V21C can also be captured. Additionally, we find that trapping H2A-H4 intra-array interactions antagonizes the ability of these arrays to undergo intermolecular self-association.
